I know that my family is a little unconventional. I know that the holidays are hard for my family. I know this because of how our family is separated. My grandma Ginger and grandpa Charles got divorced when my dad was a kid and now they live far apart from each other. I know that my grandma Vicky and granddad Gary used to live here but now they live eight hours away. So whenever the holidays come around we always just go and visit one of them, so we usually just visit grandma ginger because the other two are far away. However there are several times we would travel eight hours to visit Grandma Vicky and granddad Gary.


I know what it’s like to have to be with some family but not with all family. I know what it’s like to choose between people you care about. I know what it’s like not to have your family not always around to love and support you. I mean you can always call them and that’s fine but when you need them around that just doesn’t work for me. I know what it is like to have your family love you just not be there all the time, which is fine you just need to get used to it and I know I’m not the only person who has to go through this either.
